No. If the two numbers are consecutive then the difference of their squares need not be factorisable.
For example, 4^3 - 3^3 = 16 - 9 = 7, which is a prime.
If the smaller number is a then this simply requires that 2a+1 is a prime.

Factoring by the AC method, difference of squares, perfect square trinomial. If not factorable by those ways, you can use the quadratic formula. You can also find zeros by synthetic division. If there are not any real solutions, then the solutions are said to be complex, they do not cross the x axis.
The difference is in the number of sides. A triange has 3 sides, a square has 4 sides.By the way, all squares are equilateral by definition.The difference is in the number of sides.

"Perfect square" means that you square a whole number. Sometimes simply called "square" or "square number". "Difference of two squares" is the result of subtracting one such square from another. In most cases, the difference will not itself be a square.
Yes, the difference between two even numbers is always an even number.
No, it is always irrational.
